To be fair the bikes wanted the offside lane and the lane the car was occupying. You over take in your own lane not 5 inches from a car in his lane.
As a motorcyclist you should always ride defensively and not take liberties like that.

It's just a shame he didn't get all of them. This video isn' about 2 wheels v's 4 wheels it's about average road uses having to deal with fuckwit leather wearing morons than never developed mentaly past the age of 14. Piece of shit fucks take up the roads like that fucking own them ... the soon they all burn the better.

the more bikes on the roads the less jams
as previously said bikes must look out for cars more
cars must look out for bikes as per normal

this vid looked like the car tried to get by, the bike was half way through a manoevre and bounced off the car.
maybe the bike had a lack of consideration for vehicle drivers
maybe the car had a lack of awareness of how bikes work
end result is an incident that could have been avoided

Probably the most annoying problem with a large group of riders, usually cruisers. Rolling road blocks pissing off everyone just to keep their group together. They don't give a shit when they're going way under the limit, & refuse to let anyone pass.

When motorcycles are riding in groups, most state laws make it clear that they are to ride side by side in the same lane. They are not to take up the whole highway. It doesn't look like the car made contact with the bike, it looks like the bike operator freaked and laid it over, otherwise it would have veered off to the right, just the law of physics at play there. Also, you freaking bikers expect to be able to drive in between cars at breakneck speed, but then want to take up both lanes and More..slow traffic? Obey the rules of the road and this stuff won't happen to you. Bringing a 900 pound bike to play bumper cars with a 3000 pound vehicle is not very smart. Trying to show some gonads is even dumber. I've been a bike rider since I was 14, am 53 now and shake my head every time I see a moron on two wheels weaving in and out of traffic, speeding between cars, doing wheel stands and wheelies, and everything else that can endanger others beside the moron in the saddle. You want to do tricks? get on an empty parking lot and have fun. But when you get on the road, obey the law and wear a brain bucket, there's no tough guys at the end of that 300 foot skid across pavement.Less..

You can see the car hit the biker if you slow it down and watch frame by frame. The biker was in the left lane riding normally and the car for some unknown reason tries to squeeze between the biker and the rock wall on the left. What fucking idiot. He was being impatient and wanted to pass the biker.

Correct. The bike was ahead of the car at the start of the video. When the car hit the bike, it was trying to make an illegal pass in the same lane. As a biker, shit like that really pisses me off. There is always some asshole on the road driving a car that wants to go 20mph over the limit, while you are doing at or just above the limit. There is a road leading through and out of my neighborhood that is 2 lanes, 35mph limit. I ride at 40, but there is always some asshole that wants to do 55 and More..will tailgate me within a few feet. I've even had people attempt a same lane pass by rolling through the shoulder or crossing the double yellow (which is illegal and stupid). In those instances, I speed up to block their pass attempt. A ZX-14 is pretty good about going once you open the throttle. :)

Now, if I'm on the highway, I will ride around 75 with short bursts upwards of 160 where I know the state police never patrol. If someone wants to pass, I move down a lane and let them. If this car in the video wanted to pass so damn bad, they could have honked or something instead of making a hit and run on an illegal pass. Shit, people honk at me on the highway if they want by and I oblige every time.Less..

Exactly man. You just saved me 10 Minutes of typing!
I just got back from a 2 hour ride and you'd be surprised how many people will ride your ass and challenge you in a car. I just purchased a riding camera for this exact reason!!!!!

I decided yesterday, during a ride, to buy some steel ball bearings. I'm going to keep them in my left jacket pocket and when some prick cuts me off. I'm just going to flip a bearing over my shoulder and onto his car. Bunch of assholes. I was in the slow lane, doing the speed limit and some prick in an SUV changed into my lane with 3 feet between his bumper and my bike. Then, when I pull up beside him, he pretends he doesn't see me. Next time he'll know I'm there!

As for this vid, those biMore..kes shouldn't have been taking up the whole road. It's no excuse for a hit and run, but they were just begging for it.Less..

Don't believe in tailgating, but I found it funny when you said...some asshole always wants to go 20mph over the limit, and then in the next paragraph you basically said......but I like to go around 160 at times on the highway.

Reminds of when Gearge Carlin said when he's on the road....anyone going faster than him was crazy and anyone going slower than him was an asshole he he
